TRIVIAL PURSUITS
: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson - former presidents and
collaborators on the Declaration of Independence who were
friends who became rivals and eventually friends again -
died on the same day.
Ironically, they died the fiftieth anniversary of the
adoption of the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1826).

There was, however, another American president who died
on July 4 (though a different year).
Can you name him?

James Monroe, on July 4, 1831.

Extra: Calvin Coolidge, our nation's 30th
president, was born on July 4th, 1872. He is the only
president to be born on that day.
